JetBlue continues to grow its interline partnership portfolio, adding Air China to the list today. Air China and JetBlue will offer interline service at both Los Angeles and New York City‘s JFK airports, two of the gateways where Air China serves the United States. The agreement does not apply to the San Francisco gateway. Interline ticketing should be available starting later this summer. In addition to the interline agreement Air China will, pending government approval, enter into a code sharing agreement with JetBlue. This will allow them to add their CA code designator on certain routes operated by the New York City-based airline.

JetBlue already has a couple dozen or so international routes. The longest block time is around 6 hours so definitely shorter than something like deep South America, but they have flights across a decent chunk of LatAm and they seem to be filling up the planes more than not.
